Re: Characters Textures: Next Gen samples and sizes?
I've got to second what people are saying here. Take it easy with what you're trying to do. With the number of maps that you were initially considering per character, you could very easily end up with 9 - 18 maps at 2048 for each. Now consider in a shooter there may be up to 15 players visible at moderately close range.… -

Re: Shoddy games courses.
I agree with you acc so much of higher education is seriously flawed in terms of actually equipping you with skills relevant to the job your training for, I don't know if that's particular to this age or whether things were better in the past but from all my mates who I went uni with I know of about only 2 or 3 who got… -
Re: I'm going to be a "DADDY"...
Wow, prepare for a completely different life. I wish for nothing but the best for yourself and your wife. I hope all her medical problems disappear.

Re: The Game Artist's Guide to Maya
[ QUOTE ] I'm assuming at this point the reason is that I'm running Maya 5 and these files will only work with Maya 6 (full version or PLE). [/ QUOTE ] Can't use PLE, has to be full version of Maya.

Re: A question to other professional artists
I moved to my home town to be closer to family when I was contracting and working from home. My dad would stop by and ask me when I was going to get my work done instead of playing on my computer and games all day. I tried to explain to him that the 18 hours I spent a day on my computer wasn't playing games but trying to… -
Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 !
Playing thru Act 5 now and WOW! What a great game. I have a feeling the end is approaching quickly now though, although there are at least 2 "bosses" I can think of that I still have to deal with before the end. I'm thoroughly impressed with this game though. At the beginning of Act 5 I marked it at 18 hours 38 minutes of… -
Re: Qwertyuiop
Starting a boutique outsourcing studio is probably the most realistic way to make a decent amount of money - you have to compete on quality though because the large Chinese and Indian providers are unbeatable on scale/price. That puts you up against people like Airborn - who are very good The biggest problem is going to be… -
Re: So can Maya not work with Ngons?
Thanks for the response. The whole point is that I can concept and model dynamically without committing to the model this way. If I was to start fixing the topology as I did boolean operations, I wouldn't be able to concept with the model because I'd be undoing my work all the time. Sergey Tyapkin, a lead artist that does…
